      This is an early chapter reading book for primary children. It contains 4 stories, Pedro Goes Buddy, Pedro's Big Goal, Pedro's Mystery Club, and Pedro For President. Pedro, his mother and father, his younger brother Paco and his friends Jo Jo and Katie, are all involved in the stories.

      Pedro is a very nice young man who often thinks of others, does not brag or boast, does not get angry at his brother when he does things like letting his bugs out all over the house and wants to do well at school or whatever he tries. He is very positive but not overly mushy. In short, he is a positive role model for anyone who might pick up this book. His friends Katie and Jo Jo tend to be the same way. There is some excitement in the stories, such as when they are trying out for goalie for the soccer team or when Paco lets the bugs out and they are getting all over the house, but other than that, the stories are simple, everyday occurences, but not boring.

      The illustrations are wonderful. They are detailed, colourful and realistic. I like that the characters in the story are culturally diverse which is more representative of the world today. This would be a great book for primary classroom libraries as well as school and public libraries. I think young readers would enjoy the exploits of Pedro and his friends.

      I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

    Who likes bugs? asked Miss Winkle.

    I do! yelled Pedro. I am wild about bugs!

    Me too, said Katie Woo.

    I like the green bugs that are called katydids.

    Ha! Pedro smiled. You would!

    We are going to study bugs, said Miss Winkle. After school, go out and look for bugs. Pick one that you like and write about it.

    I like stinkbugs! shouted Roddy. I can bring one to school. That would be fun!
